Villaggio Mare Si

Really fun holiday! Entertainment team were friendly & they organised fun stuff to do every day (table tennis, darts, volley ball, football, tennis competitions etc., and random fun games). Mare Si's restaurant is really good. Al La Cart menu, & option for their really tasty buffet for a very good price. Pool is lovely, really big and relaxing atmosphere. If you want fun , go to the pool in the afternoon. If you want to relax, go in the morning , or even better 12:00 to 15.00, it's VERY quiet then (everyone eating lunch). You see the pool being cleaned every eve and the pool looks very clean, although in the deep end there is some small rust on the wall at rhe bottom of rhe pool which is a little off putting. The sunbeds are very comfortable and clean. Their beach is great , a 5 min walk . The entertainment team do fun games in the morning. Nice clean toilets on beach. The mini outdoor restaurant by the beach has tasty mini meals. The sea is obviously not as clear as the carribean but it's still lovely , warm and a beautiful beach. it's driving distance to these beeeeeeeeeautiful hot springs Saturnia (1 hour 20 mins drive) - but SO WORTH IT. And also the beatuiful Tuscan hills! Mare Si have a piazza where the entertainers do a show and dancing every night in Italian - u won't understand them 100% if u dont speak italian. There is a games room in piazza with games machines and air hockey which is fun. 1 of the games machine was not working though - please fix that! The apartment is clean and a good size. It has a mini garden... not sure why, does anyone actually use that? Only down sides is that is not close to town if you wanted to do a big shop etc. but it's VERY close to the beach front where loads of restaurants are (Caribia's my favourite, great ice-cream). And it is near a railway line, and a train therefore passes occasionally but you barely notice it, it passes by fairly quickly and it's not loud. I did not find it annoying at all. The railway is well guarded off and far enough from the place so there are no safety issues. Overall a very nice relaxing and fun holiday. thank you!!!!!!

We normally like to stay at small, more individualistic places (but had to find something on very short notice), so this was a bit of a change for us as it’s a really large villaggio with entertainment. The facility definitely grew on us though as it’s so easy with kids. Our boys loved the tennis court, soccer court, the pool. The apartments are very basic and quite outdated (as well as the entire facility. it seems more like a 3-star hotel to me because of that), but it really has everything you need, and you totally get around the entertainment program if you don’t want to take part in it. The wifi connection hardly worked in our bungalow. The staff is very friendly and helpful. So all in all we had a really nice stay here.

The resort is nice, but it's located between the railroad and a highway. Although they advertise it as disabled-friendly (and they do have some apartments that are equipped for disabled people), their parking is so far from those apartments that it makes it difficult for any person with limited mobility to go from their car to the apartment. Additionally, it ought to be clear that, for someone on a wheelchair, even a five-centimeter step is an insurmountable barrier (that is the step to get in and out of the apartment). We were also told that the beach was walking distance from the resort. It is if you are able-bodied, not if you are on a wheelchair; then you need a car. The pool opened the last day of our vacation, but no one had told us it would be closed until June 1.
